Paleo Pink Lemonade

It's sweltering hot here in Santa Fe, we're all living on pink lemonade. My mom's lemonade was sugary-sweet, however this refreshing recipe is sugar-free, using a natural zero carb sweetener. I don't use stevia after learning (what the Grocery Association doesn't want you to know) ...

Dark Chocolate Fudge, Easy & Healthy

My doctor requested an easy, healthy dark chocolate fudge. Well, here it is, luscious and so quick to make! If you're eating 75% chocolate thinking it's healthy, don't kid yourself. The remaining 25% is probably sugar, definitely not healthy. Pure 100% chocolate is a superfood, one of the healthiest, highest-anti-oxidant ...

Curried White Bean Dip, No Nightshades

I love this spicy homemade dip! It is filled with luscious flavor and healthy vitamins! Fresh veggies are a colorful and nutritious way to enjoy dips. Today I used sliced yellow beets, turnips, carrot rounds, broccoli, and English peas. I'm skipping chips and crackers as they're low in life force (Qi), high in processed carbs, and nutritional empty. ...

Classical Zabaglione sounds difficult but isn't. This 5-minute Italian mousse is super-easy to make! Even better, it's healthy, non-glycemic, and Paleo, made with dairy-free coconut milk.

Paleo Dark Chocolate Soufflé

Julia Child never dreamed of a soufflé this easy! Just blend and bake, no egg whites to beat. And Ohhh! The flavor! Rich, creamy and yes, VERY chocolaty. When I served it, a hush came over the room - a good sign! I discovered that a blender makes a fine soufflé, so I put away my egg beater. This soufflé is not only ...

These Caveman Cookies are a super-quick, high-protein snack, and easy enough for a child to make. They're also a yummy way to use up leftover pumpkin. If you use one of these natural zero-glycemic sweeteners, they won’t raise blood sugar or cause hyper-activity in kids. ...

Paleo Sweet Potato Mini-Muffins

Today I had an irresistible craving for healthy muffins, not too sweet, with the rich flavor of sweet potatoes. I adore these for breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Pear Ginger Smoothie

When I have only 2 minutes for a healthy breakfast, I go for a smoothie. This is a favorite because pear and ginger taste fabulicious together!

Amazing Hazelnut Brownies

OK, this is trouble...a serious love affair with um - hazelnuts. Their deep, dark, rich flavor blends tantalizingly with chocolate. Pure hazelnut butter, toasted hazelnuts, and hazelnut meal put these Paleo brownies right over the top as the fudgiest and chewiest I've ever tasted. They're free of gluten, grains, dairy, ...

Dark Chocolate Avocado Fudge!

The easiest fudge I ever made. And oh my! The most delicious by far. With a velvety smooth texture and crunchy nuts, it's quick to make as there's no heating or baking - just mix and chill. Avocado has a mild flavor, so I added cinnamon and allspice. The spices blend beautifully with chocolate, however they're optional. ...

Sesame Seaweed Superfood Squares

Sweet toasted sesame seeds make these squares crunchy with a hint of Asian flavor. Mild tasting hiziki seaweed makes these nutrient-dense and irresistibly scrumptious. Also called hijiki, you can find it in the Asian section of most grocery stores. It may appear expensive, however you only need a tiny bit, ...

Chocolate cravings were stronger than usual today. I saw hemp nuts, chia seeds, coconut, and blueberries sitting on the counter. These bars were in my tummy soon after - with no baking needed.

Whew! My senses are still vibrating from the deep flavor and nutrition in the glass I just downed. Raspberries are a refreshing low-sugar fruit that’s loaded with antioxidant flavonoids, anti-inflammatory ellagic acid, plus Vitamins C and K (that’s the one most of us are needing!). ...

Paleo Wild Salmon Spread

Finally, a healthy salmon spread or dip! This is great for lunches, picnics, or parties, and tastes fantastic on crackers or veggies. The flavor is even better than my mom's salmon cream cheese spread. And since it contains no mayo, you can leave it out of the refrigerator with no worries. ...

Raspberry Chia Energy Bars

Whew! I'm still recovering from the shock of finding 3 high-fructose sweeteners in "healthy" chia bars at the Whole Foods check-out counter. Agave syrup, Brown rice syrup, and Apple juice concentrate are hidden sugars that destabilize metabolism. But not THESE bars! ...
